The bill enacts new provisions under the Louisiana Revised Statutes to establish the "Louisiana Remote Patient Monitoring Program Law." It includes definitions, legislative findings, and outlines the requirements for remote patient monitoring services to be covered under Medicaid. The law mandates that remote patient monitoring services be available without geographic restrictions, provided the patient resides in Louisiana. Additionally, it allows for a one-time reimbursement for telehealth installation and training for providers, with a maximum of two reimbursements per calendar year.

The bill also sets forth qualifications for patients eligible for remote monitoring services, which include having chronic conditions, a history of costly service use, or a recommendation from a healthcare provider. It details the types of services that can be provided through telehealth, the necessary equipment and network requirements, and the need for a specific procedure code for reimbursement claims. The Louisiana Department of Health is tasked with promulgating rules for the implementation of this program, which will only be applicable if funds are appropriated for its execution.
